Postpartum
Birth changes everything. Your body, your identity and the rhythm of daily life. While the world often rushes new mums to “bounce back,” the truth is that your recovery deserves time, support and respect. At Calyx, we honour this season by helping you reconnect with your body and rebuild a strong foundation, one step at a time.
Why Postpartum Support Matters
Postpartum recovery doesn’t end at 6 weeks. Whether you had a vaginal or caesarean birth, whether it was your first or fourth child, your body has gone through a profound transformation. A comprehensive postpartum assessment is often the missing link in helping women understand what’s changed and how to move forward safely.
We support you through:
- Abdominal wall healing and diastasis recti management
- Pelvic floor recovery and function
- Pain with sex, leaking, or pelvic heaviness
- Core weakness, postural tension, or rib tightness
- Returning to movement, running, or high-impact exercise safely
- Emotional and identity shifts that affect how you feel in your body
Common Conditions in the Postpartum Period
The postpartum period is often when symptoms first appear or resurface. You may not feel like yourself and that’s OK. We help women navigate:

Patient Stories: What Real Women Experience
Many women are told their symptoms are “just part of motherhood.” At Calyx, we see and hear you, and we walk with you through the real story of postpartum recovery.
Kept Googling ‘why do I still look pregnant’ and everything was just about closing the gap. No one told me diastasis recti is about so much more, until I came to Calyx.
- Amanda, 7 weeks postpartum
I was scared to laugh or sneeze in public. I didn’t realise how much I had been holding back until I got help.
- Li Ting, 4 months postpartum
Every check-up said I was healing fine, but nothing felt fine. This was the first time someone asked how I was really doing.
- Mei, 6 weeks postpartum
